Steve, seals have the name of the manufactor stamped on them, and the seal number some where,like C/R, Temkin or who ever made it, if you can get it out and get the number any bearing specilty business can look up the seal, you should shoud have a place near you, i know there is a bearing place in chico, good luck

Steve:

Do you have a vent in the rear end. If the rear end is not vented, pressure will force the grease out the seal when the rear end warms up.

You could always do the obvious and ask the local GM dealership. They can tell you where to find the diff. ID info, provide seals, brgs, etc.

I believe speedway sells the kit to convert banjo to open drive. Something in my memory also wants to say kiwi connection or another australian company. Hope this helps.

Steve:

Auto Restorations !-800-955-3139 Makes the kit , You have a sending unit at the rear for yor speedo?

That is the place it came from , no web site he is in Muncie, In 47305

Hope this helps

Skip

Kwik is new Zealin (spelling)they make the quickchange that I have which calls for a vent due to the higher RPM on the rear
